Re:Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu (2020) by aeyes on Tuesday April 26, 2022 @09:15AM (#31167087)
Some more that I find rather annoying:

- Login screen sometimes has US keyboard layout even when the language selector shows otherwise.

- "Installing apps" where you drag them on the applications folder and you get no progress for that copy operation anywhere.

- Permission changes, for example for camera and microphone access, require application restarts.

- Photos application unable to handle even a small amount of pictures copied from my phone, crashes or freezes your machine.

- Thumbnail size in file selection dialogs and even directly in Finder is completely useless.

'"Installing apps" where you drag them on the applications folder and you get no progress for that copy operation anywhere.'

What apps do you install that take so long that a progress bar would be useful?

"- Photos application unable to handle even a small amount of pictures copied from my phone, crashes or freezes your machine."

I have thousands of pictures in Photos, and it has never once frozen or crashed. Are you doing something unusual?

"- Thumbnail size in file selection dialogs and even directly in Finder is completely useless."

This is adjustable.

Trying to configure a keyboard that isn't US ANSI is terrible, I can pick UK in the keyboard preferences and the flag changes but it remains as ANSI.

I can use control+left/right to switch desktops, but can use shift+control+left/right to move a window left or right.
